What would you do with Jake Carter? He's the son of Vader. I loved his team with Corey Graves and he's definitely got a good look, but I keep waiting to see him do something really impressive or have a break out moment in NXT.

I think his father should stop doing shows for shit money, and work for the WWE as his manager. Put Vader down in NXT with his son. Vader wasn't bad on the mic, and his son isn't that bad either. Don't allow him to be "Vader" though. I want to see Leon White. He explains that his legacy is over, and it's about walking down the path he paved for his son, and his son becoming the WWE Champion one day. I would have Leon White disagreeing with how Dusty Rhodes handles his son accusing Dusty of favoritism over his son because of he, and Vader's past. Leon wants to know why Steamboat's kid is getting all the attention. This sets up a feud with Jake vs Richie.

Character wise I think Jake Carter would play the role very well of that snobby, know it all who would brag about being born into the business. Carter cuts a promo saying that he is not going to come out here, and talk his millions of dollars that he never earned, or call himself "The Dragon" because he doesn't spit fire. Jake says that he certainly isn't dashing, and never smelt what the Rock was cooking. Carter explains that his father is here to guide him because he is a former World's Heavyweight Champion on several occasions, and that's the type of guidance one needs. He says that he will become NXT Champion, and that no one will stop him. Give him the sharp shooter, and have him catch the attention of Natalie Neidhart. Get him paired with her so she can ditch Khali, and have Carter.

He's an okay looking guy, when his hair is dark anyway, good physique, and when he was with Graves they worked well together. I think Graves is best as a solo act now, big change from my original thoughts, so Carter will just have to keep working hard to get better. He's got agility and while he's a bigger guy it doesn't impede his in ring work. Potential is there. Perhaps they could do something by bring Vader over and haven him manage with his son or something.

A tag team with Brad Maddox or Enzo Amore could work too.

Not sure if I like the idea of him playing second fiddle to Brad Maddox. Jake Carter sort of reminds me of Ted DiBiase JR in a way. He's got all the tools, but something just seems to be missing. His gimmick is supposed to be that of a ladies man, but he's hardly ever on NXT TV and when he is, he's typically getting squashed, so no opportunity to shine and get his character across.

He'll get his chance. Right now NXT is loaded with a lot of talented guys. Throughout the year I expect Kruger, Wyatt and the Family, British Ambition and Graves to get called up, which leaves guys like Cassidy, Amore, Lefort, Victor and of course, Jake Carter to pick up the slack.

He is somewhat reminiscent of DiBiase Jr. Both guys have a similar build too, good looking, in a somewhat generic way and neither truly got the chance to shine so far.

While i really like the guy, i think its hard to have a roster full of so many mid card guys, and thats where i think he would be slotted in upon debut, so i think maybe put him in a pretty boy tag team with Mike Dalton (who i also think is wayyy to good to have nothing to do on the show) and give them a valet. Ive always liked big man/small man tag teams and while Carters not huge, he's still bigger than Dalton and has a completely different style.

I dunno, its an idea i guess.

Because we know he isn't ever going to be the monster his father was. How about finding some monster of a man for Carter to unleash on the WWE? It doesn't have to be some muscle neck, but instead someone big in size like his father Vader was. This person would watch the back of Carter, and Maddox. Like I said before Carter would be Maddox's cameraman, and eventual tag team partner. This Vader clone would just be the off screen bodyguard. The question is who do you get to play this role to watch the backs of Maddox, and Carter?
